Good versus Evil in the movies and video games wherein the Good is portrayed as a lush tree full of leaves and fruits planted in paradise-like world, while Evil is symbolized as a dead leafless tree in a desert in twilight.

In the movies, examples are Lord of the Rings, Epic (animation), in video games – DOTA. All Evil do is wreak havoc and spread its destruction as wide as possible.

Unfortunately, these metaphors are literally happening in the real world today. Terrorists kill unarmed civilians who were begging for mercy. Destroy historic structures and ancient artworks. For us, it may appear that these terrorists are doing it for no reason just like in the movies. Although, the terror is just the fruit of the seeds (or the words) planted into their minds.

Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (John 14:6). The Evil in the real world is an exact opposite of Jesus Christ.

Those who choose his Way, will find the Truth, and will live a Life. Life not just in the spirit, but also physically, financially, mentally, and all according to his promises.

If an individual believes in Jesus and does according to His commandments, the Life he is living will also spread to his community. So that Community will live a Life, and so politically speaking that community is developed and progressive.

While a community that is opposed to Jesus Christ and his followers, is a Life of destruction and chaos.

This was probably a life-long dream of entering into the stock market. Since I was a teenager, I’ve been wanting to be part of this. But was apprehensive because it looked too high for me.

When I learned that any Filipino with a P5,000 pesos, can now join the stock market. I said to myself, this is it. This is the right time.

What I did was learn about the stock market, by watching videos, and of course by reading books.

I even ordered one by Marvin Germo, his second book entitled, “Winning Strategies for Investing”. It’s P495 plus shipping fee of 120 for provincial deliveries or a total of P615. I have never spent this price for a book before.

I believe before entering into any endeavor, every person should have enough knowledge. I’ve been into small business in the past, but had lack of knowledge, so the business failed.

Even Robert Kiyosaki have pointed out this mistake usually done by small businesses.

Next month, I will be opening an account at ColFinancial. I’m excited.

The Result?
The recent death of 44 special police unit in Maguindanao.

Hamas launches almost daily rocket attack towards Israel, and the building of tunnels.

All of us would love to have peace. Arm campaign by previous governments against the terrorists seems to have no effect on them. So a liberal politician like Pnoy is playing nice to them.

I personally would not deal with adults with broken brains. These Islamic terrorists would just pile up weapons for the next war.

Gay marriage and abortion is a liberal agenda
I have nothing against the use of contraceptives among married couples. But the RH Bill is the precursor to the abortion law that might happen in the years to come. It was the Liberal lawmakers who authored the RH bill.

Why would we make another contraceptive law when we already have a law legalizing the use of condoms and the like? Back in the 1980s, we were already taught sex education.

Lawmakers don’t just pour out in one setting a controversial law, they do it gradually by passing a lighter version of the bigger one. An example is the Slavery law in the US. Before it there was Indentured Servitude, a labor system for an immigrant who came to America and was placed under contract to work for another over a period of time, usually seven years, especially during the 17th to 19th centuries.

Filipino liberal lawmakers would surely make a law that is a forerunner to gay marriage. I hope that wont happen in my beloved Philippines.

In a world where we judge and most of the time treat people differently because of a person’s income.

We overlook a man because of his dirty clothes, but give a special seat to a man who appears rich. Even parents are guilty of unconsciously mistreating a son with lower income than a daughter who earns thousands of dollars a month.

I am writing this not because I’m “holier than you”, but yes I am more aware of this judging behavior than most people, but sometimes I miss and guilty of this.

We often have a perception that car mechanics are poorer than us, because they look poor on their dirty clothes.

But last week, I happened to converse with a car mechanic, he said it with pride that his wife and kids look like wealthier than him because of his job. He said car mechanics actually earn P20,000 and up a month. I didn’t let my surprise too obvious because he just shattered my stereotyping mind.

He told me, tinkering car engines has been his passion since he was a boy.

Of course, there are Christians who discriminate against other people of different lifestyle, religion or ethnicity, but there are those who only act according to their religious convictions.

Rarely, if ever there are other religious people are on the spotlight of same issue above. I searched Google for other religious group guilty of discrimination, and I could not find one. The closest is in Egypt, of all places, where an Imam was found guilty of burning a bible, and was imprisoned for four years. It’s not even discrimination.

The Muslims are the most brutal and violent in their discrimination. They kill, genocidal type. Ironically, there are still people who would defend this religious group, saying “not all of them represent the extremists”.

They would even respect the Muslim’s religious convictions if one is in a situation in the examples above. But when a Christian does the same, it’s a different story.

My only answer on why people only accuse the Christians of discrimination is “the world hates whom the Lord loves”.

When I was a teenager, I saw a movie which a mother asked for her son’s forgiveness. The mother was so busy, so she neglected her son, the mother was humble enough and said “sorry” and promised to make up for the time she missed for her son.

I was watching that movie with a friend, and told him right after that specific scene, “It is good for a parent to say sorry to their kids”.

My parents never said “sorry” for their mistakes and broken promises. My relationship with my parents are practically in the okay or good level. But deep inside me was a person wishing it could have been better if my parents were humble enough.

Although, now I no longer dwell on their past mistakes, I’d rather practice what they missed when I’ll have kids of my own in the future.

Below are the 7 things a parent should say, I never heard this from my parents. It is wise if we do this to our children.
